The strength, agility, and joy of life of young Africans are central to this performance.

Kalabanté is an exciting journey to the African continent, a tribute to the Guinean diaspora. It features high-level acrobatics, innovative choreography, and colorful rhythms.

‘Afrique en Cirque’ is the latest show by Yamoussa Bangoura, inspired by daily life in Guinea. This performance celebrates the beauty, youth, and artistry of African culture. It’s a vibrant show that goes beyond just the decor, costumes, and staging, and will energize every theater it graces.

The strength, agility, and joy of life of young Africans are at the heart of this performance. The audience will witness acrobats seemingly defying gravity, executing various human pyramids, all set to contemporary sounds of Afro Jazz, percussion, and the kora, a traditional string instrument from West Africa.

Welcome to the world of Kalabanté and get ready for an unforgettable journey! Thursday, December 5th at the Wilminktheater in Enschede: Afrique en Cirque.
